Oh, and just to be nitpicky, Shakran said it is practiced with bamboo sticks waaay earlier in the thread. The sticks are actually rattan, MUCH better for fighting than bamboo as it does not plinter and crack like bamboo would, and has significantly more mass

Actually it can be either one. Rattan is the better stick because it lasts longer, but it's also a LOT more expensive. And you CAN break rattan - I've done it enough times that I just get the damn bamboo now. I can get that for $10 a pair, so if I break it I won't be out so much money. And I tape the sticks too, which helps keep 'em from breaking.
I guess I'm just a cheap bastard
